1. start a terminal application and navigate to the directory where you want to install the scripts
this one-liner runs a small installer script that downloads the latest release archive from github, unpacks it, then makes the contents executable. the current install script can be viewed [here](https://github.com/master-hax/pixel-backup-gang/blob/install/install.sh). piping strange scripts from the web into a root shell is generally not a good idea, but it is convenient. try not to make a habit of it. 😅
